Hello, im having this odd problem with the cam. Last time when i installed modules and software it worked well, but now it gaves me this when im trying to run it again:

This is xawtv-3.94, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.8-1-686)
/dev/video0 [v4l]: no overlay support
v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway

Liian pitkä viesti = Too long message in english.

i am getting the same thing, have you tested to see if it works in full screen mode?

i can get mine to work if i go full screen. to do that you can just hit the 'F' key. for me it is an overlay issue, no clue how to fix it as of yet.

[edit to add]

seems to be the exact same issue i have. no overlay support. try the F and i bet you will get a fullscreen mode to work on your camera.

Ok ill try, when i get to home thx for the help mate

Nope, it wont work on full screen. It gives this:

xawtv -f
